Video analysis- People Help The People

People Help The People- Birdy

-The video focuses on the idea that you shouldn’t jump to conclusions and judge people if you don’t know them because there is probably a story behind their actions and that everyone is equal and you should try and help someone no matter who they are.
-It is in black and white, which removes the factor of race and emphasises that everyone is equal.
-Most of the shots are in a crowded space and the camera continuously focuses in on specific people throughout with the close ups giving the audience a better view of their emotions and emphasis on every individual’s own story.
-In particular, there is a deep focus shot of a man sitting on the steps who looks sad which helps to gain the audience’s sympathy and also may make them question the reason behind his sadness and therefore realise that there are always things you don’t know about someone
-As the video is shot in the crowded streets of London, it shows a wide range of people going about their daily activities which makes it inclusive and makes sure every viewer has someone they will be able to sympathise with which is an element I would like to recreate in my video.

  1. Good start, Isla. How does the video use camerawork and mise-en-scene in particular to create meaning? Ms Cope
